Re: A concern over Facebook's new privacy policy for What'sApp Users.
Or, what happened if someone hacked your password manager, or it broke and suddenly stopped accepting your master password. Apps fuck up, it happens. Then you're truly fucked because your ultrasecure randomly generated passwords just locked you out of every account you had in existance. Or if someone cracked the master password, they still would have all your passwords, and you'd be screwed again. Here is a really good example of ultraparanoid security
I had a bank when I was studying in the UK. It took me weeks to get an account with my foreign passport because of their appointment, investigation etc. But they had to send me the pin for my card, my card reader, and card all seperately. When I tried to pay all my accumulated bills, all my transactions got rejected for hours until the confirmation texts arrived. Alsso, they had this idiotic ultrasecure card reader. Each time I logged into the bank, it would recommend I log in securely with their inaccessible time consuming card reader. When choosing the other method, I would be asked three random pieces of info to log in each fucking time. And when you sent money to someone you hadn't before, I needed a sighted person to tap send on the reader, I then had to insert card, type the pin, generate the coede, and type the code on the website to initiate transaction. When calling bank, when the automatic voice recognition locked me out of the bank when it couldnn't hear my randomly generated password I spoke to it. I got 3 tries.
You guys might think this level of security is awsome, but it is wayyyyyy wayyyyyyyyyy overkill for a personal account, and is like planting mines in your house. It was far to time consuming for any benefit it provides.
